Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
तुझे दारींचा कुतरा । नको मोकलूं दातारा ॥1॥
धरणें घेतलें घरांत । नको धरून उठवूं हात ॥ध्रु.॥
घेतली मुरकुंडी। थोर जालों मी लंडी ॥2॥
तुका ह्मणे जगजीवना । िब्रदें पाहें नारायणा॥3॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Let me be the dog at Your doorstep; do not drive me away, O generous Lord. I have taken shelter inside Your home; do not seize me by the hand and throw me out. I have curled up in submission, for I have become utterly meek. Says Tuka, O life of the world, look to Your own honor, O Narayana.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
